“The various mephits are the evil messengers and errand-runners of the powerful creatures of the Lower Planes.”  Fire, lava, smoke, and steam mephits by Alan Hunter, resembling medieval depictions of devils (AD&D Fiend Folio, TSR, 1981).  Originally introduced as variant imps, their classification as elementals, para-elementals, and quasi-elementals came later.

Hey hey, time for more homebrew!

Genasi are one of the things I think got flubbed a bit in 5th Edition. I fell in love with them in 4th an earlier edition, and they just seemed a little flat in 5e. Where did lightning genasi go, even? Were the designers trying to go for more of a classical Greek elements thing?

Anyhoo, let's throw that out the window and open things up a bit.
